I do not recommend parents sending their children’s to this school these teachers allow fighting bullying in their classroom. The assistant principal does not do anything when parents go up there and tell them what is going on they are lazy and my oldest daughter goes their and she has been telling her counselor, her teachers and the assistant principal about different student using a book as a weapon to hit my oldest daughter and my oldest daughter has been a bully ever since last year in the sixth grade. I had been going up there done with it all since last year I went to Gresham Barlow school district and they don’t wanna deal with it. They do not want to confront the problem in the issue of that school. An assistant principal wants to blame my oldest daughter for everything, and my oldest daughter doesn’t mess with nobody at school.

This school has some good teachers, but what they have in kind teachers, they lack in safety and communication. There have been several threats in just a few weeks of school. The school has gone into “secure” twice in the last two weeks. There has been little to no contact with family. There has been many instances where the view of the school has come before the safety of the students and others in the building. There is also a preschool in the school, where there was still little to no contact with parents. There has also been a shortage of lunches. This school has run out of food on more than one occasion. The vending machines are also commonly found in extremely low stock, and also have poor options. In general this school lacks many things, but if you look close enough, you’ll find some pretty amazing teachers.

I only let my daughter attend this school for one year before switching her. We had the worst experience. The teachers (kindergarten) have no awareness for age appropriate discipline or realistic expectations for them. On day 3 of kindergarten I found a paper in her backpack where her teacher made her write lines saying "I will listen to the teacher". She didn't even know how to write letters properly yet. There's zero help from the school counselor, I asked about my child maybe checking in with the counselor once a week and they said all her spots were full. So I guess she only helps some students? A lot of the kids here obviously come from difficult environments because their influence on my child was terrible. Teaching her curse words, showing their privates to each other. Be wary when sending your kids here
